Currently, I've had a lot of trouble. Windows doesn't come with rsh support by default - so you would have had to install some 3rd-party application in Windows, to be able to rcp/rsh. If you just want to copy files between them, the easiest thing to do would be to turn on the FTP server in Linux and FTP to it from the Windows box. Edit /etc/inetd.conf and make sure that the line that begins with "ftp" is not commented out. If it is, remove the # sign at the beginning and then restart inetd (ps auxw | grep inetd, get the process ID number, then kill -1 <process id number from ps> ) Also be aware that your distro may not allow root to FTP in by default, so you may want to login using a normal user account. If you want to get more fancy, you need to install and configure Samba.
